课文一：The Tail of FameAn artist who seeks fame is like a dog chasing his own tail who, when he captures it, does not know what else to do but to continue chasing it The cruelty of success is that it often leads those who seek such success to participate in their own destruction＂Don't quit your day job!＂ is advice frequently given by understandably pessimistic family members and friends to a budding artist who is trying hard to succeed The conquest of fame is difficult at best, and many end up emotionally if not financially bankrupt Still, impure motives such as the desire for worshipping fans and praise from peers may spur the artist on The lure of drowning in fame's imperial glory is not easily resisted Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of exploiting their talent for singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc They develop a style that agents market aggressively to hasten popularity, and their ride on the express elevator to the top is a blur Most would be hardpressed to tell you how theyeven got there Artists cannot remain idle, though When the performer, painter or writer becomes bored, their work begins to show a lack of continuity in its appeal and it becomes difficult to sustain the attention of the public After their enthusiasm has dissolved, the public simply moves on to the next flavor of the month Artists who do attempt to remain current by making even minute changes to their style of writing, dancing or singing,run a significant risk of losing the audience's favor The public simply discounts styles other than those for which the artist has become famousFamous authors' styles—such as Jane Austen's or Ernest Hemingway's—are easily recognizable The same is true of painters like Monet or Picasso The distinctive style of an artist, however, can become a trademark Whenthat happens, the artist becomes confined to that style If an artist is talented but not unique, fame will be fleeting Even if an artist possesses a unique style, fame is not guaranteed The market for art is fickle The public's appetite for a new style is insatiable The artist, like the politician, must often please the public in order to remain popular翻译：名声之尾追求名声的艺术家就像一只追着自己尾巴跑的狗，一旦抓住了尾巴，除了继续追着跑之外，不知道还能做什么。

in search of Davos Man课文翻译In Search of Davos Man在寻找达沃斯人Davos Man is a term coined by political scientist Samuel P. Huntington to describe the global elite who attend the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland. These individuals are often highly educated, hold positions of power, and are affiliated with multinational corporations or political organizations. They are known for their ability to shape policy, influence public opinion, and drive global economic and social change.达沃斯人是政治学家塞缪尔·P·亨廷顿创造的一个术语，用于描述那些出席位于瑞士达沃斯的世界经济论坛的全球精英。
这些人通常受过高度教育，担任权力职位，并与跨国公司或政治组织有关联。
他们以塑造政策、影响公众舆论和推动全球经济和社会变革的能力而闻名。
The term has been both praised and criticized; some argue that Davos Man plays an important role in driving economic growth and improving global conditions, while others view the group as out of touch with the needs and concerns of ordinary people. Regardless of opinion, being considered part of Davos Man carries significant social and economic status.这个术语一直备受赞赏和批评；有些人认为达沃斯人在推动经济增长和改善全球状况方面发挥着重要作用，而其他人则认为该组织与普通人的需求和关切脱节。
They say that pride comes before a fall. In the case of both Napoleon and Hitler, the many victories they enjoyed led them to believe that anything was possible, that nothing could stand in their way. Russia's icy defender was to prove them wrong.人道是骄兵必败。
就拿拿破仑和希特勒两人来说吧，他们所向披靡，便以为自己战无不胜，不可阻挡。
但俄罗斯的冰雪卫士证明他们错了。
The Icy DefenderNila B. Smith1 In 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, led his Grand Army into Russia. He was prepared for the fierce resistance of the Russian people defending their homeland. He was prepared for the long march across Russian soil to Moscow, the capital city. But he was not prepared for the devastating enemy that met him in Moscow -- the raw, bitter, bleak Russian winter.冰雪卫士奈拉·B·史密斯1812年，法国皇帝拿破仑·波拿巴率大军入侵俄罗斯。
他准备好俄罗斯人民会为保卫祖国而奋勇抵抗。
他准备好在俄罗斯广袤的国土上要经过长途跋涉才能进军首都莫斯科。

7 Two of the most frustrating things about driving a car are getting lost and getting stuck in traffic. While the computer revolution is unlikely to cure these problems, it will have a positive impact. Sensors in your car tuned to radio signals from orbiting satellites can locate your car precisely at any moment and warn of traffic jams. We already have twenty-four Navstar satellites orbiting the earth, making up what is called the Global Positioning System. They make it possible to determine your location on the earth to within about a hundred feet. At any given time, there are several GPS satellites orbiting overhead at a distance of about 11,000 miles. Each satellite contains four "atomic clocks," which vibrate at a precise frequency, according to the laws of the quantum theory.开车最头疼的两大麻烦是迷路和交通堵塞。

Unit 1The Perfect SwarmNarrator:Damagefrom swarms of locusts can reach disastrous proportions. A single swarm of desert locusts can consume over 70,000 metric tons of vegetation a day.There is, however, one continent that’s locust-free: North America.旁白：蝗虫群的损害能够达到灾祸性的程度。
一个单一的沙漠蝗虫能够耗资高出70000 吨的植被一天。
但是，有一个大陆是蝗虫自由：美国北部。
Interestingly enough, this wasn’t always true. For hundreds of years, the RockyMountain locust was a common pest in the American West. Back in the mid-1800s,thousands of pioneers journeyed across the .in search of free land and new opportunities.They settled on the frontier of the western states,and began to farm the land intensively, growing corn and other crops.幽默的是，这其实不总是真实的。
几百年来，落基山脉的蝗虫是美国西部的一种常有害虫。
早在 19 世纪中叶，数不胜数的前驱者超越美国在自由的土地和搜寻新的机遇。
他们定居在西部边境，并开始对土地进行集中耕种，种植玉米和其他农作物。
Then, in1875,out of nowhere, a rare combination of air currents,drought,and basic biology produced the right conditions for an unthinkable event,the worst storm ever recorded,the“perfect swarm.” It came over the horizon like a strange,dark cloud. Not millions,not billions,but trillions of insects,sweeping through the land likea living tornado.Those who saw the incredible event and survived never forgot what they witnessed.尔后，在1875，走出无处，一个罕有的组合，空气电流，干旱，和基本生物学产生了正确的条件为一个不能想象的事件，最坏的风暴有史以来，“圆满的群” ，它在地平线上像一个奇怪的，黑暗的云。

但别叫他美国人。
他今年40岁，过去16年来一直生活在美国以外的地方，先是在伦敦，1996年后在莫斯科经营他自己的投资公司。
布劳德如今掌管着价值16亿美元的资产。
1998年，他放弃美国护照，成为英国公民，因为他现在的生活中心在欧洲。
“国家认同对我来说不重要，”他说，“我觉得自己完全是个国际人。
如果你有四个朋友，又喜欢你所做的事情，那么你在哪儿无关紧要。
这就是全球化。
”2. Alex Mandl is also a fervent believer in globalization, but he views himself very differently. A former president of AT&T, Mandl, 61, was born in Austria and now runs a French technology company, which is doing more and more business in China. He reckons he spends about 90% of his time traveling on business. But despite all that globetrotting,Mandl who has been a U.S. citizen for 45 years still identifies himself as an American. "I see myself as American without any hesitation. The fact that I spend a lot of time in other places doesn't change that," he says.亚历克斯·曼德尔也是全球化的狂热信徒，但他对自己的看法与布劳德不同。
61岁的曼德尔曾任美国电报电话公司总裁。
他出生于奥地利，现在经营着一家法国技术公司，该公司在中国的业务与日俱增。
他估计自己几乎90%的时间都花在出差上。
然而，尽管曼德尔全球到处跑，已经做了45年美国公民的他还是认为自己是个美国人。
“我毫不迟疑地把自己当作美国人。
我在其他地方度过很多时间，但是这一事实不能改变我是美国人，”他说。
3.Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of birth. And not incidentally, both are Davos Men, members of the international business élite who trek each year to the Swiss Alpine town for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, founded in 1971. This week, Browder and Mandl will join more than 2,200 executives, politicians, academics, journalists, writers and a handful of Hollywood stars for five days of networking, parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from post-election Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of nanotechnology. Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself. Whatever their considerable differences, most Davos Men and Women share at least one belief: that globalization, the unimpeded flows of capital, labor and technology across national borders, is both welcome and unstoppable. They see the world increasingly as one vast,interconnected marketplace in which corporations search for the most advantageous locations to buy, produce and sell their goods and services.虽然布劳德和曼德尔对各自的国籍界定不同，他们都将国籍视为个人选择，而不是由出生地决定的。
而且，他俩都是达沃斯人，这可不是巧合。
达沃斯人指的是那些每年长途跋涉去瑞士阿尔卑斯山区小城达沃斯参加年度世界经济论坛——该论坛始于1971年——的国际商业精英们。
本周，布劳德和曼德尔将同其他2200余名企业高管、政界人士、学者、记者、作家和少数几位好莱坞明星一起，参加为时五天的交际活动、宴会和没完没了的认真的讨论。
讨论话题林林总总，从大选后的伊拉克和非洲的艾滋病病毒到全球的石油供应和纳米技术的重大意义。
然而今年，或许比以往更甚的是，达沃斯论坛的一个热门话题就是达沃斯本身。
尽管与会男女各不相同，但他们大多数有一个共同信念：全球化，亦即资本、劳动力和技术不受阻碍地跨国界流动，是值得欢迎和不可阻挡的。
在他们看来，世界越来越像一个巨大的互相联系的市场。
在这个市场里，企业寻求采购、生产及销售产品和服务的最佳地点。
4. As borders and national identities become less important, some find that threatening and even dangerous. In an essay entitled "Dead Souls: The Denationalization of the American Elite," Harvard Professor Samuel Huntington describes Davos Man (a phrase that first got widespread attention in the 1990s) as an emerging global superspecies and a threat. The members of this class, he writes, are people who "have little need for national loyalty, view national boundaries as obstacles that thankfully are vanishing, and see national governments as residues from the past whose only useful function is to facilitate the élite's global operations." Huntington argues that Davos Man's global-citizen self-image is starkly at odds with the values of most Americans, who remain deeply committed to theirnation. This disconnect, he says, creates "a major cultural fault line. In a variety of ways, the American establishment, governmental and private, has become increasingly divorced from the American people."随着边界和对国家的认同变得越来越不重要，有些人将此视作威胁，甚至危险。
